This forum is provided for the benefit of beekeepers internationally, and particularly welcomes input from beekeepers in Scotland. Like all internet discussion fora it can contain humour and banter that may not be appreciated by all. The only rule is not to be abusive. The ethos of the forum is that posters should self-moderate as far as possible rather than be subjected to editorial interference.

Great to see the lovely folk of Kilbarchan and district tonight. I reckon that they have become the most relaxed, easy going bunch of beekeepers in Scotland. See the arm-folding - only three new folk indulging in a half or full arm-fold. There's even a couple up the back not paying attention.

Who knows, maybe a few may have been tempted to stop by here for a while. By way of introduction to the site, after showing them some of Jon's Apidea masterclass stuff, we went through the Waspkeeper post and its aftermath. One of the summer's highlights I reckon.

I did wonder if they have some policy to screen out or maybe persecute the non-smilers? But on the other hand some of the missing faces were smilers too, so it can't be that. Nope, they're just a happy, well-adjusted bunch. Do the Spey beekeepers not smile for you?

That was a great talk last night Gavin- thank you. You got full attention once the camera vanished . We are really lucky to have such a friendly group, the home made cake and of course Ian as Secretary to keep us all on the right path. (And cant forget the proper tea)
